‘Doctor Who’ 60th Anniversary Marathon – Season 20 Summary

Hello everyone! 🙂

Welcome to ‘Bradley’s Basement’ blog and I’m Tim Bradley!

Whilst Season 19 is my favourite season out of the Peter Davison/Fifth Doctor era, Season 20 is arguably my second favourite season.

‘Doctor Who’ 60th Anniversary Marathon – ‘The King’s Demons’

Hello everyone! 🙂

Welcome to ‘Bradley’s Basement’ blog and I’m Tim Bradley!

Here we are on ‘technically’ the season finale of Season 20 of the classic ‘Doctor Who’ TV series. It’s time for us to check out ‘The King’s Demons’, a two-part adventure starring Peter Davison as the Fifth Doctor, Janet Fielding as Tegan and Mark Strickson as Turlough. This happens to be the third ‘Doctor Who’ story written by Terence Dudley (who previously directed ‘Meglos’ and wrote ‘Four To Doomsday’ and ‘Black Orchid’). The story features the return of Anthony Ainley as the Master and it introduces us to Kamelion, a shape-shifting robot voiced by Gerald Flood, who also plays King John at an English castle in 1215. ‘The King’s Demons’ can be checked out on DVD and Britbox.
